Do I need to wear glasses all the time ?
I have had myopia since my early teens and I didn't get it corrected back then , 2 yrs ago I got glasses but I rarely wore them (-2.75 left eye , -3 right eye) the power remained the same
Now I got new glasses made (for a better frame) but I see less crisp with my left eye (very slightly tho) but I see well with my old glasses from the left . Overall , I see well with my new + old glasses. But the optometrist said , my eyes are becoming lazy . I'm very scared . Do I need to wear my glasses all the time for both near and far work ?

Generally, the power will stabilize after the age of 22 to 23 till that time you need to wear the classes to maintain the power to control the progression of the power
Please consult for proper treatment
